In Dataloop’s Annotation Platform, a Recipe is a comprehensive configuration that defines how data is annotated for a specific task, with a focus on geospatial data, including map-based visualization, spatial annotation tools, and structured geospatial outputs.
Annotations are tied to real-world coordinates, making this recipe essential for spatial analysis tasks.
Common domains include:
Satellite imagery analysis
Aerial and drone photography
GIS, mapping, and land-use applications
It is widely used in environmental monitoring, urban planning, agriculture, and defense use cases.
